• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it should be clear to the Minister that whatever you do, you cannot stop men from drinking alcohol. It is a fact. These people are responding to the fact that the so-called commercial liquor is too expensive. What is your Government doing to make alcohol affordable to the poor of the nation, so that they can also enjoy the way the rich enjoy? view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Member has made a very serious allegation that we have Members of Parliament sitting in this House, who are responsible for the issue that we are interrogating now. Could she, please, substantiate in according to our Standing Orders? view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of what the Minister has just said and in view of the statement by hon. Shebesh, is he in order to expect this House to believe that he can be a neutral arbiter in this matter? It is known that in hon. Godhana’s constituency, there are three miles beyond the river. We hear from the public that the Minister has built a secondary school called Yusuf Haji Secondary School in a neighbouring constituency. Is he convinced that if he remains the Minister of State for Defence and Acting Minister for ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is now two weeks since I requested the Prime Minister to address this House through a Ministerial Statement on the recent visit by the US Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Apparently, I do not see him in this House. Maybe any of his Deputies can issue the statement. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Bill, but I would like to differ a little bit with the proposals in the Bill. Hon. Eugene Wamalwa, the Minister in charge - and I hope you are listening. I am noticing that in Clause 5, you are saying that: “The Clerk shall, if satisfied that the petition meets the requirements of this Act, forward the petition to the Speaker of the relevant House for tabling in the House.” I want you to consider that the Member of Parliament who was given the petition by whatever group that is ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Because he is my friend and brother, I just wanted to massage his ego a little big. This will give you an opportunity, hon. Minister, to cure the challenge you have in Clause 4(5) where there is a likelihood that the petition could be taken to the wrong House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the next and final thing that I want to make comments on is that this legislation is incomplete. It is incomplete in the sense that it looks like members of public will be petitioning Senate and the National Assembly just for record. When ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I think about this Bill, which I rise to support, I look at it as being the door through which we shall ensure that the survival of the state called Kenya and our national values is ensured. For this reason, I want to support this Bill and join hon. Wetangula in urging Members that if there is a Bill which we should all support, it should be this Bill that assures us State survival and survival of our national values. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want from the outset to congratulate the National ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister for Trade is supporting me vehemently. He is saying that the same obtains in the United Kingdom (UK). You cannot expect to be safe, unless you make it difficult, in the modern era of Information Technology (IT), for crooks to have difficulties in getting a number. We want a criminal who crosses the border from Uganda into Busia and then Kenya, to find it very difficult to make a call in Kenya, until he is forced to borrow a phone from somebody, and the moment he does that, that is the beginning of ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a minute to a presidential candidate and a minute to a senatorial candidate. Thank you very much. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to finish by saying that corruption amongst officers of NSIS will kill the force. It is important that we weed out corruption amongst consumers, namely, the people who implement and enforce. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I support the issue of allowing NSIS officers to carry firearms. This is because these young men and women work in dangerous places, amongst very dangerous people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Midiwo is our Chief Whip. In fact, he is an equivalent of a Minister. He has made a very useful assertion here that he knows that our respected NSIS body is being used to fund certain politicians. He has quoted the Office of the Prime Minister and the Office of the President. Could he substantiate so that Kenya can now know who in the Office of the Prime Minister and Office of the President is being given money? We must, as Kenyans, know! I would like to thank him ... view
